Phys.org / Honeybees reveal Weber's law in flight when choosing paths
Honeybees are among the widely studied insects, due to their sophisticated, hierarchical social organization and their essential ecological role. Bees can move swiftly in natural environments, passing through narrow openings ...
Tech Xplore / GitHub workflows unlock what really speeds software innovation
In a bustling restaurant kitchen, efficiency requires more than just machines that wash dishes or chop vegetables. It requires a conductor to ensure the appetizer, main course, and dessert are prepared in the right sequence, ...
Medical Xpress / An 'intelligent tattoo' to detect skin cancer before it appears
Detecting melanoma before it becomes visible is a major challenge in dermatology. Now, with researchers from Université de Montréal, scientists at Université du Québec's Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers pinpoint protective role of a key protein in pancreatitis
A new study from researchers at the University of Chicago provides important insight into how the pancreas protects itself during inflammation, pointing to promising new directions for treating pancreatitis.
Medical Xpress / Understanding how heart attacks can dramatically reshape how the brain functions
A myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack, doesn't just damage the cardiovascular system—it can dramatically reshape how the brain functions. A single cardiac event can trigger various neurological effects, from depression ...
Tech Xplore / Motion tracking system shows robots the path most traveled by, keeping them on task
There's a delicate art to teaching robots, even when you're preparing them for predictable environments like factories, where they'll repeat the same tasks a little differently depending on the obstacles they face. Whether ...
Phys.org / Extreme 8.5-minute orbit reveals white dwarf being torn apart by its binary companion
A team of U.S. astronomers has observed a binary pair of white dwarfs where one star is actively devouring material from the other. Led by Emma Chickles at MIT, the researchers revealed one of the clearest views yet of how ...
Tech Xplore / 100% renewable energy by 2050? A global model maps the way forward
Reaching a perfect balance between the amount of greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere and those that are removed, is considered an important milestone for limiting global warming and its adverse effects on the environment ...
Medical Xpress / Macrophage cell therapy boosts four-year transplant-free survival in advanced cirrhosis
A new type of cell therapy shows promise as the first treatment for advanced liver disease, following results from a clinical trial. Patients with the condition who were treated with the cell therapy had a significantly lower ...
Medical Xpress / Pulse oximeter bias linked to gaps in care for Black patients
Pulse oximeter devices routinely overestimate blood oxygen levels in darker-skinned patients—a racial bias that can trigger downstream health harms for Black individuals, compounding well beyond any single inaccurate reading.
Phys.org / Chimpanzees' unusually protracted and vulnerable adolescences
For all the diversity of the human condition, one experience is almost universally painful: adolescence. It's also unusual. Most other species pass from puberty to adulthood quickly, but humans linger for years in a transitional ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes can render exoplanets uninhabitable at great distances
The thinking around exoplanet habitability is mostly concerned with a planet's distance from its star. Too close, and any surface water is boiled away into space. Too far, and surface water is frozen. Both are severe limits ...
